I have been blessed with a great friendship with Jimmy for over 20 years. We met at the London Professionals Business lunch group at Michael's on the Thames. I met many great people and friends there but nobody like Jimmy. We became instant friends. Even when I moved to Calgary 15 years ago we kept the relationship strong with visits and facetime calls. I will never forget you Jimmy, you were a wonderful father, son, brother, friend and chiropractor. Your beautiful family will carry on your legacy and we will always be there for anything they need. Take care "Dr. Jim" I will forever miss you and look forward to seeing you again one day my brother.

I met Jimmy in 2016 when I met my husband Makis who is one of Jimmy’s best friend & he was our best man in our wedding. I will never forget the time we spent together during our wedding weekend & his many trips to Houston Texas to spend time with us in the spring time. I will never forget the many laughs & the memories we shared. I will miss hearing his voice thru face time as he and my husband spoke Greek and laughed & spoke about politics & Steelers & Texans. I will miss hearing him playing with the kids & Kelly via FaceTime. Jimmy was sweet, smart & funny and we will miss him terribly but I believe our Jimmy is now free of pain and in heaven. I pray for Kelly & kids and his family & friends who loved him so much he will never be forgotten.

I first met Jim when we were neighbors living in Toronto as children, and I reconnected with him 20 years ago when I began graduate studies at Western. Jim graciously shared his home with me, and I look back on those years as one of the most cherished times in my life. Throughout the entire time that I knew him, Jim was a generous, warm, kind and selfless friend. We shared so many good memories which we reminisced and laughed about for years afterwards. Jim's home was a hub for his friends and family, and it was always a welcoming place- as Jim intended it. Jim was intelligent and perceptive. We often discussed politics, sports, and culture, but our chats were always amicable. For Jim, friendship always superseded everything. His friendship was genuine and unshakable- a testament to Jim's spirit and his way of being. When I moved back to Toronto, Jim would frequently call me to chat and reminisce. I'll always remember his upbeat voice when he called- it was always good to get a call from Jimmy. We laughed a lot during these calls, and it now makes me realize how much Jim cherished his friends, and how he maintained our connection through the twists and turns of our lives. Jim was also a kind and loving husband and father, and my deepest condolences go to Kelly and the family. I feel so incredibly blessed to have shared a friendship with him for all those years. He was a model of how to be in this life- loyal, selfless, kind hearted, and good humored. We can all learn something from the way Jim carried himself. I am so deeply saddened by his passing, but his memory and his example will live in my heart always. Adrian Ciani

My sincerest heartfelt thoughts are with the all the Apostolopoulos family. I know there are no words that can express what you are feeling, but may your wonderful memories of Jim give you some peace and comfort. With my deepest sympathy.

~ Vaike Pritz

Dr. Jim was so kind, outgoing, and a fellow long-tortured Leafs fan. I really enjoyed chatting with him during appointments and he will definitely be missed. To his family, my heartfelt condolences.

~ Ben Kent

Jim was much more then our Chiropractor, he was also a Friend. We met Dr Jim in 2011 at his display at the Western Fair and have been with him ever since. Kelly, you and your Family are in our hearts and thoughts. I hope you find some measure of comfort in knowing that we also recognize and know just what a special person Jim was! His kindness and professionalism will never be forgotten.

~ Brian Dallas Tarra Smith

Jimmy will be missed by everyone who knew him. He was more to me than just a cousin, but a big brother and tremendous influence. After Jim finished Chiropractic school in Chicago he returned to London at a time when his brother Aris and I were finishing our university degrees. Looking back I am so glad that we all shared those few years together. Going out for meals, meeting up on the weekend or just relaxing at his house. Importantly, Jimmy tread the first path academically for everyone in the family who followed. I always witnessed his incredible discipline and he was the first cousin to earn a university degree and later the title of Doctor. This of course influenced us all and became the standard. Lastly, he always had a positive mindset, was lighthearted and levelheaded. On more than one occasion his advice helped me through challenging times. Love you Jim

Gone too soon, but never forgotten. You will be missed dearly.

In Loving Memory of Jimmy It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of my best friend in the whole world this past weekend. Jimmy was more than a best friend—he was my brother in every sense of the word. My entire family loved him as one of our own, and anyone who had the privilege of knowing Jimmy felt the light, laughter, and joy he carried with him. For the better part of 27 years, Jimmy has been a constant in my life, and I could not have asked for a more loyal, kind-hearted, or genuine friend. From the moment we met to the very last day I saw him, every memory is filled with laughter, love, and an unshakable bond. Since his passing, I find myself seeing his face everywhere, reminded of the countless moments we shared—not just between us, but with the community of friends who loved him just as deeply. I’ve been telling everyone I meet how lucky I am to have had a friend like Jimmy. That kind of friendship is so rare, and I will carry him with me always. Rest in peace my brother. You will never be forgotten Jimmy boy!!!.
